Confidence to Change - Overcoming our Self-Sabotaging Tendencies Through Buddhist Meditation

Most of us want to work out the issues in our lives that don't bring us happiness. But when we try to change, we are often faced with the fear of the unknown. We often choose the comfort of what we know - even if it causes us unhappiness - over the perceived hurdles of change and growth. Through learning and practicing Buddha's teachings, we can begin to see through the limitations of what we know and acquire the knowledge of our true potential, giving us the confidence to change.
